A trade body has called for a more “sympathetic” approach to private hire drivers who are struggling to meet Low Emission Zone requirements, after three licences were revoked.
Mohammed Yahyah’s licence was suspended for three months after he told the committee he was “looking for the right car on the right budget”.Committee member Cllr Thomas Kerr, Conservative, recorded his dissent with the decisions to revoke licences. Earlier this month, private hire driver Muhammad Raees was suspended after he told the committee he didn’t “have the funds” to make his vehicle compliant.
A council spokesperson said: “The policy agreed by the Licensing Committee is that all vehicles licensed as a taxi or private hire should meet the emissions standards of the LEZ, subject to certain exemptions currently in place.
